Data Access & Collection · Context
Biometric Data covers Scan Data and Scan Information and may count as biometric identifiers
The policy defines “Entrust” as Onfido, Inc. and its affiliate companies. “Scan Data” is data from photos/videos (including audio recordings) of the user and the user's identity documents captured through the device camera or otherwise uploaded, including data that may be construed as a scan of face geometry or a voiceprint extracted from those images/videos. “Scan Information” is information, however captured, converted, stored or shared, based on Scan Data that is used to identify the user. Together they are “Biometric Data”, which the policy says may be considered biometric identifiers or biometric information under applicable biometric privacy laws.
